1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent. 1Revision history for Perl extension AnyEvent.
2
3 - fixed wrong documentation in AE::Socket.
4
55.01 Mon Aug 10 03:16:32 CEST 2009
6 - last release broke EV child watchers :/.
7
85.0 Sun Aug 9 17:32:09 CEST 2009
9 - officially introduce and document the AE API.
10 - lowering the timeout at runtime did not have immediate effect
11 in AnyEvent::Handle.
12 - AE::Handle now has separate and independent read and write timeout
13 settings.
14 - probe for Guard module when AnyEvent::Util is loaded, not at
15 runtime (Event doesn't like eval "use" from callbacks, and it avoids
16 exporting the probe function).
17 - Impl::IOAsync's io watchers did not use the filehandle emulation
18 code to work around it's watcher limits.
19 - work around IO::Async's problems with overloaded objects.
20 - try to disable wearnings inside IO::Async, it's just too buggy.
21 - do no longer use Event by default, only EV or Perl, Event is too buggy.
22 - hackishly provide fast AE:: interface when EV or Perl is the backend.
23 - inherit VERSION from AnyEvent::VERSION in most modules.
24
254.91 Thu Aug 6 15:42:45 CEST 2009
26 - AE::Handle::starttls could get out of sync when the read buffer
27 already contains some TLS handshake.
28 - AE::Handle did not properly free the TLS session, causing bigger
29 memory leaks in Net::SSLeay than expected (reported by toaster).
30 - AE::Socket::tcp_connect will now artificially delay invoking
31 the callback to avoid returning after invoking the callback.
32 - convert many internal watcher uses to AE API.
33
344.9 Sat Aug 1 11:07:01 CEST 2009
35 - Glib silently fails when registering a timeout with
36 a negative value, so avoid that.
37 - call condvar callback immediately when it is set
38 after the condition is already signalled.
39 - check rbuf_max condition only after trying to consume
40 data.
41 - normalise signal numbers to names when using the ae's
42 signal handling, but do not document this (yet).
43 - pure perl signal emulation did not properly set nonblocking
44 mode on the signal pipe on win32 (this is unlikely to have caused
45 any issues).
46 - new module: AnyEvent::Debug.
47 - AnyEvent::Strict now checks that a signal was specified
48 by name (not name or number).
49 - reduce memory footprint in typical cases by ~50kb by
50 only compiling signal code when necessary.
51 - add AnyEvent::Handle->rbuf_max.
52 - grab the AE namespace for future new API, implement stubs for
53 said future/alternative API.
54 - new function: AnyEvent::Socket::format_hostport.
55
564.881 Tue Jul 28 12:51:53 CEST 2009
57 - work around a bug in local in pre-5.10 perls, causing
58 AnyEvent::Handle to recurse when it should not
59 (analyzed by elmex).
60
614.88 Tue Jul 28 04:04:37 CEST 2009
62 - re-bless the handle into a dummy package after calling
63 AnyEvent::Handle::destroy, so the user does not need to check
64 for errors after every push_write etc.
65 - do not attempt to run t/02_signals.t on obviously broken
66 platforms.
67
684.87 Sun Jul 26 02:06:16 CEST 2009
69 - do not attempt to linger when there is no longer a valid fh.
70 - enforce tls mode to be either accept or connect, do not simply
71 segfault in Net::SSLeay.
72 - AnyEvent::Handle can now call tcp_connect itself (new parameters
73 connect, on_prepare, on_connect and on_connect_error). Updated
74 tutorial accordingly.
75 - add AnyEvent::Impl::Irssi backend.
76
774.86 Mon Jul 20 23:52:29 CEST 2009
78 - since the verbose warning is not enough, explicitly document
79 that versions before 1.33 of Net::SSLeay are not secure.
80 - work around signal handling races in Event and (...) Event::Lib.
81 - try to align signal-race timer to full-second boundaries.
82 - work around Tk not liking negative timeouts.
83 - don't complain of different grades of environmental unfriendlyness
84 in IO::Async.
85
864.85 Sat Jul 18 06:16:14 CEST 2009
87 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
88 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
89 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
90 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
91 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
92 documentation.
93 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
94 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
95 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
96 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
97 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
98 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
99
1004.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
101 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
102 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
103 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
104 this trap.
105 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
106 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
107 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
108 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
109 on_read callbacks.
110 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
111
1124.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
113 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
114 callbacks.
115 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
116 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
117 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
118 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
119 Event::Lib.
120 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
121 to rarely fail.
122
1234.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
124 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
125 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
126 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
127 in AnyEvent->io.
128 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
129 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
130 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
131 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
132 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
133 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
134 portable_socketpair.
135 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
136 YMMV.
137
1384.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
139 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
140 uppercase targets.
141 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
142 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
143 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
144 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
145 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
146 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
147 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
148 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
149 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
150 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
151 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
152 in the common case.
153 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
154 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
155 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
156 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
157 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
158 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
159 from the constructor.
160 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
161 then fall back to JSON.
162 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
163 and because it was documented that way.
164
1654.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
166 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
167 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
168
1694.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
170 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
171 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
172 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
173 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
174 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
175 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
176 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
177 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
178 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
179
1804.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
181 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
182 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
183 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
184 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
185 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
186
1874.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
188 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
189 and set it on the default resolver.
190 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
191 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
192 when running in tainted mode.
193 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
194
1954.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
196 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
197
1984.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
199 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
200 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
201 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
202 destructors.
203 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
204 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
205 implementation.
206 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
207 for cosmetic reasons.
208
2094.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
210 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
211 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
212 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
213 - sped up Tk timer handling.
214 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
215 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
216 - fix Qt timers without interval.
217 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
218
2194.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
220 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
221 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
222 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
223
2244.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
225 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
226 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
227 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
228 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
229
2304.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
231 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
232 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
233 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
234 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
235 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
236 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
237 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
238 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
239 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
240 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
241 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
242
2434.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
244 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
245 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
246 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
247 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
248 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
249 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
250 backend.
251 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.
